people bring this in for different reasons, some for a cash reward, others out of a sense of duty. and they use foreign policy chief warns against creating global division on pushing russia closer to china, while at the same time calling for more sanctions on moscow. ah live from moscow to the world. this is our t good to help you with this. i'm, you know, you, we start with the news that ukrainian emergency services have confirmed that fire fighters have put on an enormous blaze. our fuel depot in the western city of la evolve. the fire started after the warehouse was hit by a russian missile, which also left the defense facility in place. local authority, say 5 people were injured in 3 explosions,

which left residential buildings on touch. the russian defense ministry confirm the strike saying they were aimed at disrupting ukrainian on the logistics. roger on march the 26th, a large fuel based near the city of the wharf, which provided fuel for ukrainian troops in the western regions of ukraine as well as near keith was destroyed by high precision, long range, air based weapons. in addition, high precision, cruise missiles, destroy the workshops of the level of radio repair plant. this plant was conducting major overhauls and modernization of the door and as 125 and to aircraft massage systems. this is footage from the center of ukraine's 2nd largest city. har, cough were, according to local authorities. 2 districts were shell by the russian military overnight, rushes defense ministries. yet to comment on the claim. thousands of harcourt residents have sought shelter in metro stations. many struggling to bring their possessions with them. amid the ongoing fighting and 10 residential

buildings on a library were damaged when ukrainian forces shell, the city in the luke ganske region of dunbar on saturday. that's was reported by local military authorities. no casualties were reported in purple mice, but local residents say continual attacks have left them living in fear the list we were sitting here in the basement from 11 to 8 o'clock in the evening. but one rocket strike after another again and again. and when it hit hard here, you can understand that my wife, who was sitting a metre away from the incoming shell, was saved by god's well, we moved away from this wall which was hit by the shell and stood there until 8 o'clock in the evening. my hands are shaking, said he was on the idea, so now it is impossible to be here. i didn't sleep the whole night because all this is hard for me. and you could mean all our tea has visited the southern ukrainian city of melli topo which was taken under control of the russian army. i run

a month ago with more than her life. and the region has progress since then. your senior correspondent, broadcast if in cities and towns across ukraine, liberated during the russian special operation here in the country. life is gradually returning to normal. this is the city of millet, opal, b, y here. just scant days off, the ukranian troops had abandoned that when blown up tags was still in the streets . the city was empty. every one was in their homes, in mean basements in shelters, waiting and fearing what would happen next. now that 23 weeks have passed, things a much calm people, once again has in the streets, many shops are open and the fear, the fear has dissipated. confident that the worst is over, people have begun to open up. they are no longer afraid that ukraine security services will nationalists,

will come knocking on their door if they say something that government doesn't like . traditionally. yeah, yeah. my yes there i support one vladimir putin said denazi's vacation and demilitarization from so that no one would carry weapons in the country would be neutral. no, nazis would be around this. everything has become peaceful here. russian forces did not kill anyone who were quite the opposite. they pretend to be the union yet of going home. i don't believe the information. my crane. thank you. thank some messages. a sandy. i don't want to marry the natalie. it's my tennessee t and i'm ok with that. my children leave in russia. i'm alone hand it isn't there war. and even though i seen at emerson is normal. my. the city now has a new mayor who presides over a joint military civilian administration. she's well aware of the challenges ahead, but he's confident, confident that mellow to bull can overcome the hurdles. the key of his set, zalinski is government has cut off millions of its own citizens in areas liberated

by russia, depriving them of wages, access to national records, and even the ability to register new borns to shuffle. la 30 has stopped and now we cannot. ranches to marriage is the bass of children property for one simple reason . the korean government has centrally disabled old databases on a command from the center. the banks withdrew the money supply from head. this led to shortage of cash come festival employees of the civil service and pension and suffer when there was still a man from the pur. shanker solidarity party. here they turned off the electricity in the city that led to linton joking. this is identical to what key of did to the don bass sparking a colossal humanitarian crisis, prompting russia the said aid medicines and even pensions to the region identical. but for the shelling and attacks now ukrainian troops are being driven back in

russian national guardsmen are helping to keep order. while those are condition of us almost as little character, we are often approached with social questions and we help in any way we can. we pass the requests of civilians to the local administration unless they hand over ammunition to us for a reward. we returned cars to residents that were taken away by the militia, created by the ukrainian authorities. as it retreated, the ukrainian military left behind a vast quantity of weapons. aside from all the gods that handed out to civilians. those arms that now being collected handed involuntarily by people in liberated areas. because the mushroom up with voters, whatever a man try to hide this machine, gun ammunition belt in the cemetery. i saw this and brought it to the common dance office because it is dangerous for children and civilians. this fully loaded machine gun belt is far from the biggest hole that's been brought in. people have brought in all sorts of weapons including pistols, assault rifles, machine guns,

grenade launchers, with all sorts of ammunition. certainly people bring this in for, for different reasons. some for a cash reward, others out of a sense of duty. the other task handled by russian national guardsmen and local volunteers, is manning, checkpoints, infiltration, saboteurs, and weapons smugglers a, a serious threat. this is one of the checkpoints outside the city of mallet opal, where russia national guardsman, ah, at a checkpoint outside the city. this is the road leading to mario book. every single car is checked and the luggage, the boot, is also checked by russian troops for, for weapons or any private items. this direction is especially important. as i mentioned, it leads to the city of mario book and over the past few weeks, hundreds of ukrainian nationalists as well as soldiers. among them near nazis have

attempted to flee from the city of mary opal disguised as refugees. there are multitude of these checkpoints wrong along the roads. at very few nationalists now make it out without being caught during screening a sub renewable share melody. we pay special attention to people because under the guise of civilians fighters from the ukrainian armed forces or neo nazis, trying to drive through. we check people's documents because they've been cases when neo nazi tried to leave a war zone under the guise of a family. and he resist treat the checks with understanding support us, you thank us of you them. undoubtedly things will return to normal until this conflict reaches its conclusion and power is handed over entirely to civilians. when that will happen, he's so far and clear. but in the meantime, yellow tubules, new governor, he's determined to keep her city alive and strong in these troubled times,

eugene against the little sto, would lose people hunted. everything will be better, they believe in it. they say she ain't these extra patients with me. as i'm afraid to disappoint people and heard that i will meet their expectations, use the yay a day or something more, i guess the a r t from relatable you crave the use foreign policy chief has warned that the ukrainian conflict could push russia closer to china which could then lead to a rift between the global south east and northwest usa barrell. now that the only way to stop that happening is by ramping up efforts to end the war quote, today. and on the bad consequences of what's happening is that we can push from russia to china. and we can create a division between what weekend se, the se, the global se, and the global northwest. and we have to avoid these trend. and in order to avoid

the strand, the 1st thing to do is to stop this war of aggression war of attrition. today, and that's what we're doing to support ukraine, also by military means without escalation, without an auditory dollar, vertical escalation, that could bring, bring tula beaca conflict. and tried to put pressure in russia by all our capacities. you know, that'll make to pay, deprived of it. will art is caleb martin has been taking a look at the global implications of the conflict in ukraine sanctions and russia. now you my saying that the russia, ukraine conflict is just between 2 countries, but in reality it's got global implications. there are currently around $10000.00 nato servicemen stationed at military facilities and naval bases in ukraine of which $4000.00 or from the united states. u. s. military and cia personnel had been

training forces in ukraine for a long time. meanwhile, britain just decided to send 6000 new defensive missiles as well as 25000000 pounds sterling and aid. plus, there's been an inflow with international volunteers with dr. count and who can forget the economic fall out. the sanctions on russia are already taking their toll throughout the european union. sanctions should always have a much larger effect on the russian side. done on our side. it's not our intention to impose sanctions, the unnecessarily weaken our economy. but we are entering an unprecedented foot crisis because other countries in the middle east or africa are very dependent on

products from ukraine and russia to feed their population. the pandemic already saw an increase in malnutrition throughout africa. but now the new sanctions on russia are making things worse. russian fertilizer exports have been affected and the price of food and fuel is rising. the escalating ukraine crises has been a be, has a dental big bill to the east africa crisis at the moment. it has sent prices. oh, key communities such as a grease put eliza owens cranbrook. it takes really impacting, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, and who are struggling with affording that the united nations is already speaking up about this. you can reading people in doing a living hell, and the reverberations are being soft worldwide is skyrocketing, food, energy and fertilizer prices threatening to speedo into a global hunger crisis. oil traders are now predicting that the price of petroleum

could go up to $200.00 per barrel. by the end of 2022. around the world, many observers have got to be asking themselves, is sticking it to russia really worth all of this? the impact of these global events could be quite hard to undo. caleb, bob and r t new york, or let's cross to shanghai now and speak to professor of politics and international relations. east china normal university, joseph gregory mahoney, you're very welcome to the program e u foreign policy chief usa burrell has stated that quote, one of the bad consequences of what's happening is that we can push russia to china . is this ongoing global division on sanctions? a genuine opportunity for russia and china to strengthen relations willis. keep in mind that the strengthening of relations between china and russia have 3 fundamental causes. first lead us destabilize central asia,

and russia and china had to work together to try to clean up the mess. second, the u. s. d stabilize the middle east, pushing china closer to russian oil. and 3rd, the 2 countries share a long border and need peaceful relations with each other. now, there are other reasons for the countries to be friends, but these 3 points are shared strategic interests that do appear to be deepening. as the u. s. takes a harder line against both countries. but europe has a major concern here because it's resisted us anti china positions in many respects . and it's got a lot at stake in terms of trade with china. now obviously the u. s. would like to change that and the european super fuel fearful that all of this will drive a wedge between them and china as well. but in fact, beijing is very clear about wanting to maintain good ties with europe as good as, as good as possible at least. but nevertheless, the headwinds are gathering. and what kind of reaction joseph gregory, should we expect from the west, if fresh in china continued to build cooperation?

you know, i think in the near term, i don't think we'll see major a hands. i think we'll see what we've seen thus far. holding the ground to the most part, even speaking directly against us, efforts to expel russia from the g. 20 for example, but not advancing much from the chinese side. hoping the conflict finds a solution in the near term. you know, neutrality requires this, perhaps more than the threat of us sanctions against chinese firms. but over the long term, i think we continue to see cooperation through groups like bricks, the shanghai cooperation organization. see support for each other when appropriate in the us. the g. 20 and others? i think we'll see trade expanding. we might the trilateral strengthening of relations between russia, china and india. and we might see military cooperation expanding after the dust settles and ukraine. the rom, vacations of the conflict, there's just so many so many issues in flux isn't there prior to the imposition of

sanctions. russia, for instance, converted part of its reserves into you and how significant could something like that be as china seeks to strengthen his position as a global banking superpower. you know, it's, it's not quite clear the extent to which china might, you know, maybe partially replace us in terms of helping russia in banking the one hand, we do know that china has been dealing with russian sanctions for many years. that both countries want account clearing solutions and that the number of chinese banks dealing with russian transactions are relatively small, there by minimizing potential exposure. on the other hand, if this conflict resolves relatively speaking, at least, then perhaps the pressure will relax considerably. but if it doesn't, then i think we'll see the emergence of alternative global financial schemes. in fact, this is going to happen anyway,

but it might come more quickly given all that has transpired the way you separate was speaking, by the way. it sounds as if it would be the worst thing in the world if beijing and moscow actually got closer at ties. do you think that that's something in the e. u. props. even washington just didn't think about that. if you're going to continue to borrow sanctions against russia, then they're going to look for friends and other parts of the world. and this is know what's happening. you know, i think that in the u. s. case, they're very happy to, to try to push china and russia together in some respects. you know, there's been this constant maligning of both sides by washington by western media broadly. but, but especially american media, you know, the us like these, these types of narratives, things like the axis of evil. you know, we haven't heard that specific term yet. but you know what i'm saying,

and we've heard things like this in the past. and i think clearly us, we very much like to create a division between europe and china to push europe away from chinese technology away from chinese, straight and back into the arms of us, germany. now whether or not europe wants to go along with that remains to be seen. it's certainly clear that india doesn't and the china doesn't so long term implications. to be sure clear and concise, and also as always. thank you, professor of politics and international relations at east china normal university. joseph gregory mobile now that's all as the u. s. continues were seemed to pressure countries and sees as really not towing washington's line. no, america has called india's position on the russian ukrainian conflict on satisfactory new delhi has avoided any direct combination of russian actions in ukraine and abstain from un security council votes on nation. i think we would

certainly all acknowledge and agree that when it comes to votes that the un india's position on the current crisis has been unsatisfactory to say the least. but it's also been totally unsurprising. the spike countries worldwide agreeing to stop the purchase of russian oil as part of sanctions. india has not joined the boy cut, but is instead and talks to by russian oil at a discount, while also seeking ways to maintain trade relations. earlier i spoke with n k bond rec, whom are in the is former ambassador to trick in is becca stone. we think to india is acting simply out of self interest and shouldn't seek to satisfy what other countries one is not an exception. this is a rule. what days doing is actually what was countries are doing not only in, in the neighborhood, but even in latin america, africa, and other continents. when someone said that a stance is unsatisfactory. it's an added statement because, you know,

in foreign policy stands on a particular issue taken by a country. you've never their view to satisfy the country, what the americans and what policies to set aside the rest of the community. know the community when they went and bought yugoslavia when they destroyed the rock, when did destroy it, libya know they did it in their interests. ah, now sky high energy prices have played europe for the past number of months. and now the sanctions against russia are fueling further discontent by propelling those course to never before seen levels. laughs lead to frustration in many countries, including spain. the dozens of marie and cement mixers occupied highways around the spanish capital at this

weekend and improvised march that started up at symmetrical madrid. football stadium was held to slow traffic and draw attention to drastically rising food and fuel prices. elsewhere in spain, a highway leading to portugal was blocked when fishermen in the ton of a month to set fire to a. busy wall of tires to protest the spiraling close of fuel. the country has been provide demonstration stage by the various trade union. in an effort to address the problem, the government has offered truckers, a rebate on one time cash payment of the group behind the protest has rejected the offer to keep off protest food indefinitely. and let's take to cross the border from there to from rising fuel energy prices as well as overall living costs have re ignited the yellow best protest movement. head of next month, presidential election. protesters of accused candidates a feeling to understand their concern and increase the prime minister has

admitted that the huge on unprecedented sanctions against russia quote, actually do bite referring to rising energy cause he warned that the you should be careful not to let the measures damage europe more done moscow political commented, or else any where believes you countries who sanctioned russia end up punishing themselves the the, the problem with countries, particularly the charity deciding to bring about sanctions against russia is the government never thought about the consequences all on the u. k. of sections and the same applies to other european countries, have been box on the sites in the say. of course i have been protests and your opinion countries. i do think that pressure will start to show on western government shouldn't protect because obviously populations can't

sustain these very happy rises and the costs are so i think it's very important to have a complete change of policy and red eyes. such countries see sanction russia and up sanctioning themselves and that is her policy. it leaves us as far as western country seek to reduce reliance and russian energy. washington is turning to the middle east to meet gaps and oil supply. it's been reported the by the administration transferred a significant number of anti missile interceptors to saudi arabia in recent weeks. despite the humanitarian catastrophe in yemen. the result of a 7 year war in the country between the saudi led coalition on rebel groups led by b who cheese thousands of yemen. these fell the streets of the war torn countries

capital on saturday to mark the anniversary of the conflict on voice their anger. and the real lead military campaign in the country are t corresponding ritual blevins has been delving into why the humanitarian crisis in yemen received so little international attention. saw the binding ministration imposes unprecedented sanctions on russia, claiming concern for the fate of civilians in ukraine. that concern appears to be non existent for civilians in yemen as the devastating war and their country enters is a year instead of. and i'll think things against saudi arabia over its role in the conflict that has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. fighting is doing the opposite. he's working the gain back. saudi arabia's favor amid unease that any disruption and the kingdoms oil supply to the u. s. could be devastating as washington is to ban all energy imports from russia. but even though the war and ukraine has received more intentional social media in just one month than the war

in yemen has received in 7 years. just how bad is the crisis? well, it's estimated that nearly 400000 people have died more than 15600000 people currently live in extreme poverty as millions phase, hunger and starvation. and now the united nations is predicting that more than 1300000 people will have died as a result of this war by 2030, and that nearly 70 percent of those dest will be children. under the age of 5, we're 1000000000 short failure to provide this year a few extra $1000000000.00 means you're going to have famine destabilization and mass migration. you have the growing prices in yemen over the last 7 years. house out the u. s. from providing support for the saudi led coalition, with the buying and ministration, reportedly moving to approving new batch of patriot interceptors this week after previously denying the saudi's request last year seawall. the u. s. may claim it is concerned for civilians in ukraine and is also concerned about the stability of the

energy market. as it works, you shut out rushes contributions to the global supply. that means a vine is now working overtime to maintain labor, with saudi arabia. as the king them sides with russia on production plans and even considers accepting payments using the chinese you are as a result of the saudi crown. prince knows exactly how many cards you hold here. and i said he doesn't care if i didn't understand the saudi. simply, i do not care. it's up to him to think about the interests of america. however, biden does care. that's why he appears to be carrying on the longstanding u. s. tradition of ignoring both the crisis in yemen and reports of human rights abuses and saudi arabia in order to maintain access to saudi oil. well, the bins long, so the money and saudi purchases of armaments, or is war in yemen and elsewhere. so it does

not want to irritate stories too much. on the one hand, the thought is on the other hand, along with the united arab emirates, they see some ability to assert some sort of autonomy. so with the decisions that there are states may in regard to the us. so that is why. 1 are so eager to just get on the bandwagon, criticizing russia for its actions and following the u. s. and last time lining the events that helped shape all of the planets. most trouble hot spots into an independent state within 8 years or documentary dumbass yesterday today. and tomorrow dickinson moment ah

ah ah ah, we must understand that lead to market some kind of democracy. we did the military group in which has provisions, jacob stripes, against anyone hes, which is not a part of their daughter. so the leg plus these people, it's friendship of me. good already under billy all fresh. was bottled reward or reactions in my

ah ah oh gosh, nobody will actually this is it or she actually we're not a wiley on the city on their point to dish because a lot osha. laura, that the she cus him. yeah. i do have school or g of q 3 a i c h you shes leeway huddle shell. it's so chris, you who did better plus my 3rd year was still pretty what i g u. s e, and up on the water. you in the city on the phone serious? you on talk where? yeah, give me what was what they did a little funny done bus not on bus was ocean new car. the reason you them come on

to a premier chair are also a city or.
